Fact is Detroit entered the season with Lidstrom, Rafalski, Kronwall, Stuart, Lilja, Chelios, Lebda, Meech, Quincey and Ericsson… All of which are NHL capable.. After losing Quincey on waivers he got himself into the top 20 points for defensemen…Ericsson is in the minors as Detroit is keeping assets while trying to maintain an elite defense corps… had Ericsson played last year he might have put up numbers to warrant a contract of more then 1 mil per year… you dont need 7 defenseman worth 7 million in ur lineup at once… once you assess your talent you not have to rotate your lineup to keep what you want for as long as you can…. i am sure they didnt wanna loose quincey for nothing

Think something along the lines of what Marek Svatos got at 2.05 – 2.5 million for a couple years, based solely on the fact that he's injury prone. Plekanec will want 3.5-4 million though. Still, Vermette is a turd. I guess considering the new contracts it would be pretty even though, you're right. Ideally you'd want Plekanec and Fisher of the 4 players mentioned.
